No, I tried that. That's how I got 'Permissions denied' instead of
'command not found'. But this is more of a Mac-Unix question, and so
off-topic.

On the contrary -- you just give the input at the command line of the
TeXShop console for the file you're LaTeXing. It works almost exactly
the same way as in the terminal, except with a command line instead of
continuous scroll (assuming you are using nfssfont interactively at the
terminal). Anyway, the font works in both environments now (except
with different engines), so this point is moot.

OK, here are excerpts from the files:
TeXShop (i-installer?) version:
<-- snip -->
[1{/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/fonts/map/pdftex/updmap/
pdftex.map}]</usr
/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/fonts/type1/bluesky/cm/cmr10.pfb>
</Users/fontan
ap/Library/texmf/fonts/pk/modeless/adobe/kaufmann/pkur8r.600pk></usr/
local/teTe
X/share/texmf.tetex/fonts/type1/bluesky/cm/cmr7.pfb>
<-- snip -->
Terminal (Fink?) version:
<-- snip -->
[1{/Users/fontanap/.texmf-var/fonts/map/pdftex/updmap/pdftex.map}]</sw/
share/texm
f-dist/fonts/type1/bluesky/cm/cmr10.pfb>{/sw/share/texmf-dist/fonts/
enc/dvips/p
snfss/8r.enc}</Users/fontanap/Library/texmf/fonts/type1/adobe/kaufmann/
pkur8a.p
fb></sw/share/texmf-dist/fonts/type1/bluesky/cm/cmr7.pfb>
<-- snip -->
So one is using fonts/pk/modeless/adobe/kaufmann/pkur8r.600pk, and the
other is using fonts/type1/adobe/kaufmann/pkur8a.pfb. What's the
difference? (As I said, I can't see any difference at the printer --
only in TeXShop or Preview.). I guess the two versions of pdftex.map
must be different for some reason, probably due to the convoluted
process of installing the font.
As for selecting one engine or the other, since I like the type1
rendering better I have changed my configuration settings to:
(pdf)TeX: /sw/bin/ (was:
/usr/local/teTeX/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin-current)
TeX + dvips + distiller:
Tex program: altpdftex (was: simpdf tex --maxpfb *or*
/usr/local/teTeX/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin-current/simpdf tex --maxpfb)
Latex program: aldpdflatex (was: simpdf latex --maxpfb *or*
/usr/local/teTeX/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin-current/simpdf latex
--maxpfb)
because these look the best on the screen. As for anything more
complete, considering my limited skills I think I'm willing to allow
peaceful coexistence. I'm afraid to change the configuration now that
everything is working. Someday when I have a few days with nothing
better to do maybe I will take a chance and opt for surgery. (The
margins seem to be a little different when I run nfssfont -- hopefully
they will be OK when I process my old files with the new setup!)
Thanks, Peter and Herbert, for all your help on this one! I have
certainly learned a great deal in the process.
